LTK is an opportunist. There goes to show that a president scholar also cannot compete with him. The dormitory saga at Serangoon Garden may have affected the results of the GRC badly.Originally Posted by devilplate

Yah....the papers said that the serangoon garden ward has the worst votes for pap.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
I am sure they have a strategy. If PAP does not listen to their views, it will be posted to the Singaporeans. That is about accountability. They will have to co-exist or integrate.Originally Posted by devilplate
mountbatten rich also not happy with all the CM by MBT , why would they wan to vote for pap. Old airport road hawker also not happy, left who voting for pap ? New citizen who stays there..
Residents of some new and old HDB flats between the hawker centre may vote for them as their flats are upgraded and coupled with an mrt stn.Originally Posted by Lovelle

condos around Lor Chuan and Upp Serangoon also falls under Aljunied. Pls consider these as well. Literally, huge GRC estate to cover by WP...
It's the VOICE in the parliament..
Same, I don't even see the opposition face at all. Our RC is very active, they always organise some events for the residents and our MP was always there to join the residents, I ever see him singing and dancing with the residents, enjoying himself, a joyous person.Originally Posted by devilplate

Red light areas are all PAP wards
Re Alunied GRC I believe the upper middle class in the Serangoon Gardens vicinity voted heavily against the ruling party.
gahmen will punish these middle class folks in that area and make them repent for the next 5 years
yeah... I need to go "repent" too.....
The serangoon gardens residents were extremely angry with pap because after repeated petitions, the pap still die die want to have the worker's dorm next to their estate.Originally Posted by Geylang OKT

Sacrifice votes or economy? No contest

Keeping the economy humming is more important than fretting over whether votes will be lost.
Foreign Minister George Yeo gave this response yesterday when asked if the unpopular decision to house foreign workers in Serangoon Gardens would affect political support for his Aljunied GRC team.
Speaking to The Sunday Times on the sidelines of a Hari Raya grassroots dinner, Mr Yeo said: ‘The important thing is to do what is right. You cannot always be worried about votes.’
He explained that the economy needs foreign workers and Singaporeans should understand these constraints.
‘When the economy goes down and people’s lives are affected… surely that must be politically more costly to the Government,’ he said.
Plans to convert the former Serangoon Gardens Technical School at Burghley Drive into a dormitory for foreign workers made headlines last month, with residents meeting their MPs and signing a petition.
The Government has since decided to go ahead with the dormitory but said it would accommodate some of the residents’ concerns, including the construction of a new access road from the Central Expressway to Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1.
However, other residents living near the new access road became unhappy.
In response, the Ministry of National Development announced last week that it would work with the dormitory operator to arrange for buses to pick up and drop off workers within the dormitory’s premises.
Trees and shrubs near the access road will also be planted to shield the dormitory from surrounding houses.
Acknowledging that there are a handful of residents who are still upset, Mr Yeo pointed out that the ministry had already gone out of its way to accommodate residents.
He said: ‘There’s got to be a certain tolerance so long as their concerns are addressed…We all have our preferences about what should be in our neighbourhood and we can’t have all our wishes.
‘A decision has been taken, requests have been made, whatever could be accommodated is accommodated. I think on the whole, it’s a good compromise.’

These middle class folks in Serangoon think they got their revenge? Wait till they see what the next 5 years hold for them.
I have a feeling that their property prices will drop until they buay jin chu
It's possible that Govt will make them repent until they buay tahan, then call early elections so that they can vote PAP back in. Remember.....there is a young Emperor in the wings who is waiting to be brought into Parliament so they probably won't wait the full 5 years before the next GE.
At most that area constitute another 2000 votes and winning by 13000 votes, it won't make any difference to the result even if next GE comes early..

I know quite a lot of Singaporeans are very unhappy with PAP on certain issues and I might be one of them too. I don't know anything about politics and I'm not interested. I'm just stating what I have seen. Frankly speaking, PAP has done quite a lot of things for Singapore and there might have some issues that to the PAP, as long as it helps the economy grow, they will just carry on but to Singaporeans, these are big issues because it affect us personally.
Well, having 1 or 2 oppositions in the Parliament is okay, at least they can help us to speak up but too many oppositions, I'm afraid that it might affect our economy growth.

Taking PAP reasoning and burning it like talisman and drinking with water is not the way to go for future generations.
Mr Hum who heckled at Lim Hwee Hua during elections at Serangoon Gardens has the last laugh.
